Why are people obsessed with comparing MBB? Do investment bankers or lawyers do the same? It’s kinda pathetic

Yes, they absolutely do, but its more spread out.
For example, in IB yes you have Goldman and Morgan Stanley, but you also have smaller specialist houses which are also quite good e.g., Jefferies and Lazard.
In Law its Big Law, but there are way more than three top firms, probably something like 15-20 (but most far smaller than MBB). Don't know if people really move from a second tier firm to Skadden Arps or Wachtell Lipton, but they are hugely desired coming out of law school.

I looked at law school long and hard. Lawyers are way more than MBB. I feel like we are much more cordials.

Graduating with PhD in comp neuro next year. I just did a week long internship at MBB to check out consulting, which I loved but ultimately will not be accepting my offer for life considerations (my wife also works at MBB and we have young children). It was amazing getting a sense of what the work actually comprises.

Are there any similar day-long or week-long internship programs for data science? Would love to test it out for a little bit to see what I like/dislike.
